graduation, a September wedding, and October
foot surgery and recovery in Maryland.

Elaine Wagner, Anne Enright, and I

From Carol:
Betsey Tait Puth continues to enjoy the
Chicago Symphony and Lyric Opera and
her involvement with the Music Institute of
Chicago. Recently she took a trip to Spain
with the Art Institute of Chicago. She says
the highlight of her past year was a trip to
Alaska with her children and grandchildren.
Byrdie Loveless Jackson flew with her
granddaughter, Andrea, to Beijing. This was
Byrdie’s fifth trip to China with the WWII
vets. When she is not traveling or visiting
family, she maintains her house and gardens
and enjoys her dog companions.
Lois Shafer Smith and Dick have settled
comfortably in their home in Greenspring
Village, Va. Her son, Kerry, and family live
nearby and are frequent visitors.
Dorthea Shoffner Atallah and Bruce
Hanes divide their time between two homes,
one in Massachusetts and the other in North
Carolina. They spent a month in Australia,
New Zealand, and Fiji, followed by a trip to
Mexico. During a visit to Pennsylvania, they
joined our lunch group, and went to Kutztown
for the Pennsylvania Dutch Festival,
where they renewed their marriage vows.
Later they returned to Europe to visit Holland,
Belgium, and Germany.
Deborah Irwin Fleagle finds her grandchildren
a source of great joy and pride.
Debbie enjoyed a trip to Ireland with a
group of six. She plans to move to a retirement
facility in northern Virginia.
Once a month, I have lunch with a
Bethlehem group that includes June Shafer
Scholl, Vanita Egge Marvin, Janet Fabian
Andre, Beth Schlegel Landau, Betsey
Sherer Freas ’50, Jane Kincaid Missimer,
Fern Bachman Koplin, and sometimes out
of town visitors. Recently we celebrated
Janet Andre’s birthday, and I shared photos
of my trip to Vietnam and Cambodia.

From Bob Scholl, former class correspondent:
Dean Garland wrote that although his
frequent travels rarely take him to the Lehigh
Valley, he still thinks of his happy days
at Moravian.
From the Alumni House:
We are sad to report that Robert Scholl
passed away October 6, 2008. Bob, who
lived in Bethlehem, was a devoted Moravian
alum, having served on the College’s Alumni
Board of Directors. In 1978, he received
the Harvey T. D. Gillespie Outstanding
Coaches Award. Born in Fountain Hill, Pa.,
Bob graduated from Moravian with a B.S. in
mathematics. Prior to graduation, he and his
father started Scholl Lumber Co., of which
he later became president. In addition, Bob
was a special agent for Prudential Financial,
and an actor in cable television series. He
was involved in numerous service organizations,
including Rotary, the Red Cross, and
Turning Point, and served on many Boards
of Directors. He leaves behind his wife,
Mary Jane (Miller), daughters Raleigh Shook
(and husband Greg) and Stacey Scholl, and
brother Jay (and his wife Susan).

From Norma:
Hello again! I have news to report. I
spoke to Louise Scott Gross, who says her
broken ankle healed and she is on the go
again. Posie Bosek Clymer and Ell took a
lovely cruise to celebrate their 58th wedding
anniversary. Jean Whitaker Cliff writes
that she has moved again. When her eldest
daughter and her husband retired and
moved back to Tucson, Ariz., they asked Jean
to live with them, and she was happy to accept.
Her sister, Patricia Whitaker Bausman
’52, visited in spring.
As for me, I spent a week at Palm Beach
with daughters Cindy and Linda. We didn’t
do anything—just relaxed and enjoyed the
beach and warm weather.
